The Time & Place

Depending on the day and time you're listening, Tik Tok is either down, just back up, or gone forever. Either way, the world is permanantly altered by Tik Tok. But in what way? Can it be it be for the better in any way? What's the future of social media, and how will we look back on it in 30 years?

In the past ten years, UFO's and UAP's have become largely mainstream. So much so that government and military officials have confirmed yes, they exist and yes, we have made some kind of contact with their crafts. But what does any of it mean? Psyop? Military tech? Spiritual Activity? How does the christian think about the larger universe and the life that may or may not be there? Join us now as we ponder the void.

Over the past month or so, the reform world has seen a scuffle between two sides of the Christendom coin. On one side, Ogden, Utah and New Christendom Press. On the other, Moscow, Idaho and Canon Press. So what's the point of contention, and who's in the right? Should we have any enemies on the right? And what Holy Land, and by extension which Christendom, are we fighting for?

Two men who did what they felt they had to do; Daniel Penny and Luigi Mangione. One, charged with the high crime of being white while acting. The other turned into a folk hero of sorts after gunning down a one percenter in cold blood. What does the narative we were fed about each man say about us as a society? In a nation that thinks the righ to kill is undeniable, should we be surprised that murderers are heroes? And are there any heroes at all?

For the first time in two years, we sit down to catch up and reflect on what's been going on. And what a time to do it. From the chaos of the election cycle to the world on the brink of war, we talk about what has been and what we think we need going forward. Join us, it's The Time & Place!

This week we dabble in a subject near and dear to both of our hearts, comic books. We discuss the idea of comics as analogy for existence, the ideas of writer Grant Morrison, and how we can understand some of our own super heroes in light of our fait. Also, why Punk Rock Jesus is a lazy, poorly written book. Excelsior!

A few months ago, we spoke with pastor Carl Young, elder at Alamo Ranch Community Church in San Antonio, Tx., and will soon be planting Garden City Church. This week, we speak to pastor Jon Paul Dennison, another elder at ARCC who will be leaving to Brownwood, Tx. for another church plant. We discuss the issues that come with planting in the Bible Belt, breaking through people's assumptions of their own salvation via geogrophy, and what it's like to move into a community that hasn't changed in decades. Find us on all social media platforms for more videos, commentaries, and more. For comments, concerns, topic ideas, or prayer requests, email us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com

We are all familiar now with the argument that gender is a social construct, that the organs and chromosomes are irrelevent, and that there is no gender binary. What if they have a point? What if the flesh isn't the issue? We look back at the very beginnings of humanity to look at why gender isn't just a set of organs or traits, but a very real, intentional, and spiritual reality. It's more than just skin deep, and that's a good thing. Find us on tik tok, instagram, and facebook. For comments, concerns, topic ideas, or general feedback, email us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com

Hollywood is falling apart faster and faster right in front of our eyes. From Will Smith's Oscars meltdown to Disney's LGBTQIA+ pledge and war with the government of Florida, it seems like the entertainment industry's relativistic chickens have come home to roost. But how do we as families, the core demographic for Disney, handle the coming onslaught of "diversity"? Is it really any worse than before, or is it just more public?

This week we are incredibly fortunate to sit down with podcaster, content creator, film maker, music video director, head of The Doane Creative Agency, and all around hustler Darren Doane. Darren has been involved in media from the age of 19, so much so that he's probably shaped your childhood without you knowing it. Darren give us his take on the future of content, the blessings of covid, and the importance of showing up. You can find Darren on Instagram as @doanecreativeofficial, can be heard on The Doancast and his new project, All My Friends Are Heretics, and his films and projects can be seen all over the internet. #doaneit For comments, questions, topic suggestions, or anything else, email us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com

On this special edition of The Time & Place, we're joined by David Hayward, known online as The Naked Pastor. David was an ordained minister and served in various functions of the church for 30 years before becoming a leading voice in the Deconstruction movement. Deconstruction is a hot topic right now, but what does it actually mean? How does the process start? Is there ever a reconstruction? And is there any truth to be found in it?  David can be found on Instagram as @nakedpastor. His primary online source for material and work is www.nakedpastor.com To contact us with questions, concerns, topic ideas, or anything really, email timeandplacepod@gmail.com

In a matter of a few days, we went from speculation on Russia to full on calls for World War 3. Will it happen? How should Christians veiw warfare and military service? Does this signify the end is near and an emminent rapture? And is buttrock the truest christian music? Join us for all of this and more on this weeks episode!

This week we're joined by Carl Young, pastor and elder at Alamo Ranch Community Church. Carl joins us to discuss church planting.

When we talk about baptism, we often talk about it as being symbolic. But by doing so, are we missing out on a deeper reality involved? Christinity has lost it's grip on the spiritual, which has left us in a state of unrealized resurrection. How can we remedy this? Plus, AI and the future of worship music.  For comment, question, or discussion topics, email us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com

Maus has recently sparked an interest in banned books, a tricky subject that will exist for as long as public schools exist. As Christians, how do we deal with the idea of banning books? Should we be banning any kind of media? And if so, what are the standards? Join us for this, plus why we can trust the right books are in the bible.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is one of the most convtroversial thinkers of our time. In recent years, he's taken a particular interest in religion and the bible, leading many pop culture plugged in Christians to think he's inches from the kingdom. After a year out of the public eye, Dr. Peterson recently made an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. He discussed a wide range of topics, but the one that caused the most buzz online was the bible. So what does Dr. Peterson actually believe about the bible? And where does that put him in relation to the Kingdom?  Plus, Spotify has a choice to make: Joe Rogan or Neil Young?

Anxiety so common in our modern time, it's almost hard to call it a problem and not a character trait. Why did it become so common? What does it actually mean? And how should we view it through a biblical lense? Plus, the end of covid in England, and will it spread to the rest of the world? Follow us on Instagram @thetimeandplacepod All episodes and more content available on Youtube as The Time & Place Email us with feedback, suggestions, questions, or concerns at timeandplacepod@gmail.com

Facebook, now Meta, is looking to transform the way we live in a very real sense. Meta wants to be intertwined in every part of our lives, possibly even being our lives. How does the Christian respond to this? Is it The Matrix come to life, or is it just a pipe dream from an over ambitious tech mogul? What can we glean from Augustine about the coming digital world? Join us as we discuss this and more, in our first episode back! 2022, let's get real.  Find us on Instagram @thetimeandplacepod Youtube as The Time & Place TikTok @timeandplacepod And always, email us with any questions, suggestions, concerns, at timeandplacepod@gmail.com

In the 80's and early 90's, America was gripped with terror over the shocking accusations of Satanic ritual abuse coming from all over the country and targetting our most vulnerable, our children. Trials were conducted, abusers were jailed, and the nation breathed a little easier knowing justice had been served. But it hadn't. Join us today as we discuss the most notorious crimewave that never happened, the history of mob mentality against the other, and a diversion into interdenominational theory on sin, grace, temptation, and salvation. You can find us on instagram at @thetimeandplacepod Our Youtube Channel is The Time & Place Email us for comments, questions, and suggestions at timeandplacepod@gmail.com

The Spiritual Gifts seem to be the one thing that there's only two opinions about, totally real or completely gone. But what's the actual biblical teaching? Why is it that healing and tongues are so magnified but no one wants to talk about administration? And is there a place for emotion in the church? Join us today for this, plus the state two prominent men's reputations.  Contact us via email at timeandplacepod@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter at @TimeAndPlacePod, on Instagram at @thetimeandplacepod, and Tik Tok at @TimeAndPlacePod

This week we cover alot of ground in current events before jumping into todays topic: what does it actually mean to be all things to all people? What does it look like to be a man in the church, to find community truly in church, and we address some of Julian's own shortcomings in thinking as we look at how your average man is building kingdoms we can't see. Also, Augustine and Puddlegum remind us of what we need to keep our eye on.  Follow us on Instagram at @thetimeandplacepod, YouTube as The Time & Place, Facebook as The Time and Place, and Twitter @TimeAndPlacePod.

Kanye West drops his second Christian album, and inadvertantly gets us to look at what it means to actually believe something. We take a look at the tracks, the background, and what we thought about it, as well as why Christian Hip Hop seems like a dead genre. We also take the time to examine what it means to believe something genuinely, and why what you do when everything falls apart tells us what we actually believe.  Follow us on Instagram at @thetimeandplacepod, YouTube as The Time & Place, Facebook as The Time and Place, and Twitter @TimeAndPlacePod. Email us at thetimeandplacepod@gmail.com with comments, questions, criticism, suggestions, or prayer requests!

We wrap up the Summer Sola's with the point of everything, Soli Deo Gloria. Every aspect of creation is made to and for the glory of God alone. What does it mean to do everything to the glory of God? Why do all the solas rest on this one? And, who do you think you are?

Week four of Summer Solas, we tackle Sola Gratia. Grace alone is a fairly common phrase but the implications are vast. It doesn't just affect salvation but every aspect of our life. We get into the sin of ingratitude, the difference between common and special grace, and why Karen is the movie America has been waiting for.  To be informed when we go live or new episodes are uploaded, join our mailing list by contacting us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com.

And at the end of the day, who do you really think that you are? Contact us via E-mail at timeandplacepod@gmail.com, reach out with your thoughts, ideas, show topics, and let us know if you'd like to be notified when new episodes are uploaded or livestreams begin!

Continuing our Summer Solas, we talk about the exclusivity and sufficiency of Christ, Solus Christus. The world detests the exclusivity of Christ. The church struggles with the sufficiency of Christ. But both are intrinsic to the faith. Also, we work through the difference between a Christophone and the incarnation, and think about what it could mean if the apocalypse is actually over. Find us on Tik Tok! Timeandplacepod for response videos, minute apologetics/theology, and whatever else might come up!

Join us for our Summer Solas series! We're working our way through the five solas of the reformation, this week Sola Scriptura, the scriptures alone as the sole infallible rule of faith and practice for all Christians.

Timeandplacepod for video responses, apologetics, podcast clips, and more!

What does it mean to be a man anymore? It seems like the only talk in culture about masculinity and patriarchy is how we need to smash/end it. But why would God design masculinity if it's so bad? Join us as we discuss masculinity, patriarchy, and the marching orders from God to men.  Contact us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com, especielly our out of the united states listeners. 

This week we look at one of the more obscure American Cults, The Seventh Day Adventists. We're joined by Anthony Andreola, former Adventist, to discuss what they've taught, believe, and practice. We hope this will answer any questions you may have about this, it was very informative to us. If any member of the Seventh Day Adventist church would like to respond, we'd be glad to have you on. Reach out to us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com. Anthony's blog can be found at actheologian.com

This week, we take a look at another group of door knockers, the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, or as they're more commonly called, Jehovah's Witnesses. What do they teach and believe? Why do they have their own translation of the bible and how does it differ from others? And what's the obsession with the 144,000? This, and a few choice rants, all on The Time & Place! Contact us via email, timeandplacepod@gmail.com, especially if you're outside of the USA. We'd love to hear from you. 

Mormonism is as American as apple pie. More and more, they've been pushing to be accepted as any other religion in every sphere of life. But what does Mormonism actually teach? Would you know what it meant if they told you about exhaultation? What does it mean to be a family forever? If you've ever encountered the men on bicycles in white shirts and ties, this episode will give you some food for thought. Also, National Vaccine Passports. What is going one?!?!?  All podcast are available on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Anchor FM. For links to all, follow us on Instagram, @thetimeandplacepod.

The Church and the LGBT community have been on a collision course from the beginning. It seemed like we'd reached a boiling point this past decade at the hands of the Federal government. But and unexpected compromise has appeared in the form of Queer Theology and Gay affirming churches. What was once an outlier movement has quickly started to go mainstream as more and more people seek to "deconstruct" their faith. Believe it or not, this discussion is at your churches front door, if not inside already, and we all need to be ready for it. This week we're joined by Matthew M., social media intern for Beloved Arise, a non-profit, queer afirming faith foundation, to discuss the details of the movement. What does it believe, what are it's roots, and how does it deal with the passages that appear to be in opposition to an LGBTQ lifestyle? Plus, Solomon's frontline covid account. Matthew can be found on Instagram and Tik Tok at @headphonematthew. Beloved Arise can be found on Instagram at @beloved_arise.

If you were in youth group between 1990 and 2010, you probably sat through a video series or lecture series about purity. The idea of keeping oneself sexually pure was the main focus of most youth directed church activity for most of us, but the methods and means may not have been the wisest, and in their wake we have a generation of damaged feelings and relationships. Our friend Vacation Bible School joins us again to discuss the hangover of True Love Waits, the unintentional consequences of it, and what an actual biblical sexual ethic looks like. Vacation Bible School can be found on instagram at @churchwave_vbs, his Youtube channel is Vacation Bible School, and his music can be found on SoundCloud under Vacation Bible School.  For comments, questions, concerns, or future topics, reach out to us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com

The Tree of Life is a motif that runs from the first book of scripture to the last, but we know very little about it. What was it's function? How have people thought about it through church history? And what parallels does it have with communion? We cover a broad range of topics this week and we hope you are blessed by it. Comments? Questions? Requests? E-Mail us at timeandplacepod@gmail.com!

There's no area of our lives not affected by social medai. But did we jump headfirst into a new technology without considering the consequences first? We're joined this week by Baily Mullens to discuss the effects of social media on the modern life, and the christian life. Bailey's podcast, Created Curious with Bailey Mullen's, can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Youtube. He can also be found on instagram @bailey.mullens.

In an unplanned season premier, the guys get together to discuss the latest bit of insanity as the election results continue to grind to a finish. What was our opinion about the chaos in the capitol? How should we as Christians be responding as things break down on both sides? This new year should be an interesting one, and it's already starting off with a bang.

In our last episode of 2020 and of season 2, we're joined again by our friend Vacation Bible School to discuss Christmas Movies! We cover the full spectrum, the classics like It's a Wonderful Life and A Charlie Brown Christmas, newer holiday staples like Elf and Jingle All The Way, and even some obscure ones you maybe haven't seen such as The Family Man and Trapped in Paradise. Vacation Bible School can be found on Youtube as Vacation Bible School, Instagram as @churchwave_vbs, and his latest album, Ghosts of Advent, as well as his other work can be found on Soundcloud as Vacation Bible School.

There is no time when it's more clearly proclaimed that Jesus is King than during Christmas time. Join Solomon and Julian as they discuss post millennialism, the enduring hope of Christmas, and the gospel proclaimed loud and clear in Christmas music. Timely Topic: Google's new Youtube election information policy Fit To Print: "The Last Children of Down Syndrome" The Atlantic Dec. 2020 issue. 

Discipleship is maybe the most missunderstood, and therefore neglected, areas of Christian life. What is discipleship? How do we get started? Who should even be doing it? We'll explore all this and more as we talk through one of the biggest elements of the Kingdom of God.

The last command Jesus gave to his disciples was to go and make disciples of all nations. In our modern context, we see evangelism as the duty of the clergy. But is that true? Did Christ's command to his disciples transfer to the man in the pulpit only? Or is it still our duty to go and make disciples? Join us this week as we discuss why we need to be actively preaching the gospel, and why we need to start right where we are.

We have no idea what is happening, this is the election that's never ending. Regardless, we have to have a gameplan going forward. The church has been far too comfortable for far to long just getting by, and the current state of America is not going to allow that anymore. In this episode we try to lay out a game plan for the future, an actual goal oriented, Christ focused, gospel minded path for the future. And also discuss christmas movies briefly cause we're feeling the holiday spirit.

Christianity and horror seem like two things that couldn't be further apart. But in a worldview that takes the spiritual wickedness of existence as a very real thing, how could horror not bleed into Christianity? On this episode, we're joined by Vaporwave musician/visual artist Vacation Bible School to look at Hell Houses, Chick Tracts, Rapture Movies, and other horror and horror adjacent elements of Christian culture, as well as some elements of Christianity that have blead into horror fiction. We also get a surprisingly deep and philosophical explination of Vapor Wave as a genre. Vacation Bible School can be found on Instagram @churchwave_vbs, on Facebook as CHuRCHWaVe, and Youtube as Vacation Bible School. His latest album, Satanic Panic 3: Hell House is available on youtube and on Bandcamp at vacationbibleschool.bandcamp.com Warning: This episode does touch on darker subject matter such as sexual violence and abortion, so listeners with children are cautioned.

Magic and mysticism has gone mainstream. Crystal kits can be find in most discout department stores and booksellers have a wide selection of divination decks to help you decide your next move. But how should the Chrisitian view these things? Is there anything to any of it, or is it all just superstition? We sit down with Luke Bonecutter, professional spiritual consultant and diviner to discuss what it is he believes, does, and how it relates and comes into conflict with the truth of the Bible.

Automation has crept into every part of our lives, and AI is looming right around the corner. How should we see this encroachment of technology, and what ramifications will it have on our sex lives? Plus, the debates as entertainment and questions of canon.

We had the honor of sitting down with Pastor Doug Wilson this week to discuss his latest novel, Ride Sally, Ride (Sex Rules). Pastor Wilson is the author of several books on everything from raising boys to the art of writing, Senior Fellow of Philosophy at New St. Andrews College as well as founder of The Logos School, and pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. We discuss the plot, the worldview that's turning it from fiction to reality, and how to keep our own little guys from falling into the trap of a junk drawer worldview. Pastor Wilson is on instagram @douglas_james_wilson.

With all of the craziness of our current age, the how and when to reopen public schools is a heavy source of argument. Some families have decided rather than add this risk to all the others their kid will encouter at school, they'll educate themselves. But how? Join us today as we discuss the home school option and why it's time to start taking it seriously?

False prophets and wolves in sheeps clothing. Maybe the most feared men in religion today. Some people have made it their personal mission to make sure they're are marked and avoided. But when does caution become heresy hunting? What's worth dividing and fighting over? And how does Jesus feel about divisions in the first place? All of that, and a big announcement about the upcoming Timestamp Zine. This is The Time. This is The Place.

Welcome back to The Time & Place! It's been a little while since the last time we checked in. We're excitted to not only fill you in on where we've been, but also on what we have planned for the future.

Toxic Masculinity is part of the power structure of oppression according to our cultural revolutionaries. But what is toxic masculinity? Does it exist? And if so, how do we correct it?

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In God we trust. A Christian nation. What does any of that mean? What part does patriotism have in the christian life? Does it at all? Plus, stop thinking the Supreme Court is the supreme authority.

Julian is angry, Abbie is burnt out, and Solomon just wants to go to Barnes & Noble in peace. How are we dealing with this, what's the future hold, and is it time to start fighting (probably not)? Plus, Antifa doesn't like lines and don't hug Solomon. As a side not, our new logo design was provided by The Joyful Type Co.
